EJ Group, Inc

Impact

  • Unified all EHS workflows under a single, cloud-based platform.
  • Improved reporting and analytics by integrating with third-party BI tools and streamlining data exports via API.
  • Increased system engagement across departments with real-time access, intuitive dashboards, and shared accountability.

Outcome

EJ transformed its approach to safety by consolidating EHS processes into one connected platform. Teams across the organization gained access to real-time data and proactive tools, enabling better decisions and faster responses. This shift fostered a culture of accountability, where employees took greater ownership of safety and contributed to continuous improvement across sites.

The Challenge for EJ

Before Intelex, EJ relied on a legacy, server-based EHS system that was expensive to maintain and rarely updated. Reporting was slow and labor-intensive, with disconnected tools and limited visibility into safety trends. Each facility operated independently, with restricted access to the system—making it difficult to standardize practices, act on data, or engage employees in safety efforts.

EJ recognized that this fragmented approach was holding them back. To build a stronger, more proactive safety program, they needed a modern platform that could unify processes, simplify reporting, and scale across the entire organization.

How Intelex Helped EJ

EJ turned to Intelex to create a single, cloud-based platform that could manage all its EHS and quality tasks—from audits and inspections to NCRs, waivers, and maintenance tracking. The implementation extended beyond the EHS team, with supply chain and training functions also using Intelex for document control, supplier management, and training management.

The company used Intelex’s open API to connect with third-party BI tools, allowing them to export data, create custom dashboards, and improve decision-making without manual effort.

Employees across all sites gained access to shared data and automated alerts—helping them stay informed and act quickly when safety issues arose.

EJ’s internal IT team, along with third-party partners, configured the system to match the company’s specific workflows, from naming conventions to reporting filters. This flexibility ensured the platform could scale with the business as needs evolved. Most importantly, giving employees direct access to the system empowered them to take part in safety tracking and reporting—helping to embed EHS into daily operations across the board.
